Hi. I lost my fitbit, in my apartment I think. Should I just open the app and hit Scan while i slowly move the phone around my apt? Thanks!
Hi Drew,
Yes, that’s the approach to locating your missing fitbit. You can turn on the sound in Settings in our BLE Scanner. If you don’t get any signal, your fitbit is not in the 20~30 fit range.
I have lost my misfit shine – how do I know I’m getting closer to it’s location?
i misplaced my keys and the Pally folks suggested i use your tool to find my key finder because i had updated the iPhone app and it was no longer paired with my key finder. when using your app, what numbers should i be looking for in signal strength – negative? positive? hi number? low number? than you!!
I installed from iTunes. “Show RAW data” does not show data but

How to see the recorded data?
I am often misplacing my bluetooth earpieces. will this tracker enable me to track Motorola H730? or the Motorola Boom? PLEASE ADVISE! thanks.
Hi Larry,
Bluetooth earpieces don’t use Bluetooth 4.0 (BLE). So our app won’t be able to track and locate them.
The information shown is raw data.
The lower the number of signal strength number (negative sign included), the weaker the signal, and the further away the object.
Please use our BLE Scanner and follow the signal strength indicator.
Looking for my Fit bit. I hear a beep on my IPhone. What do the numbers mean? Am I closer or further when the negative number shows up? Directions would be helpful. What is RSSI?
The greater the RSSI the close you are to your Fitbit. The minus sign is part of the number, i.e. -20 is greater than -80.
Hi, i’m trying to use this with a Plantronics Legend headset. The headset is on and i’m sitting right beside the phone with the app running and nothing happens. I turned the sound turned to on. Am I missing something?
Hi David,
The Bluetooth Scanner only works for Bluetooth Low Energy devices. Your Plantronics Legend headset is likely a Bluetooth 2.x/3.x product.
I’m so happy to have found my fitbit with this app, recommended by a friend. It’s not particularly user friendly, but the comments above helped me. A more user friendly interface, or at least words that a non-techie could understand on the screens, would be really helpful. Thank you for the app!
